Abstract

Device making it possible for the user to personalise his seal (stamp). The invention of this method highlights documents or supports by means of the use of different colours (Fig. 1 and 2). It consists of a casing (1) containing previously cut pads (2) which we divide into compartments of different colours and which are held by thin plastic and metallic strips as well as by an adhesive material, making it possible to obtain a leak-tight and compact assembly. The dimensions of the compartments may vary as the user desires. The invention of this device is intended more particularly for all matters connected with the office.

Description

The present invention relates to an ink pad of
several colors to bring out a stamp
color on any document or medium.

A traditional ink pad does not allow to affix on
a support or document that a stamp of a single color.

Some of these ink pads, placed on a desk, are
present in the form of a pre-inked contained pad
in a box with hinged lid; others get
in the form of interchangeable cassettes
entering a plastic or metal frame.

But in both cases, we get only one
color.

--- The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy this
disadvantage. It indeed comprises according to a first
characteristic, a housing into which are introduced
several pads of different colors allowing
the user to obtain a multi-color stamp on
his document.

According to particular embodiments
- plastic slats, separating the
different pads and forming compartments in
the purpose of obtaining sealing to avoid mixing of
colors.

- metal strips acting as a spring
making all the elements compact.

- the different slats and pads are maintained
by an adhesive substance.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention
Figure 1 shows in section, the device
the invention;
2 shows in section, a variant of this
device.

With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a
case (1 ?, pre-cut pads of different
colors (2) and plastic strips (3) forming the
compartmentalization. A seal is placed between
the housing (1) and the bearing (2).

In addition to metal slats, acting as
spring (4), arranged in abutment on the edge of the
pads for the maintenance thereof.

In the embodiment according to Figure 2, the dimensions of the housing (1) are maintained while those of the pads (2) pre-inked in different colors and pre-cut are changed; the same is true for the plastic (3) and metallic (4) lamellae. This variant makes it possible not only to obtain different colors compared to FIG. 1 but also to bring out different compartments relating to the company name, the address, and the telephone number.

By way of nonlimiting example, the case will have dimensions of the order of 60mm for the length, 8mm for the height and 50mm for the width.

The dimensions of the compartments can also vary at the discretion of the user, and the colors modulated according to demand.

The device according to the invention is particularly intended to lie in relief, thanks to the color, the letters numbers and drawings which constitute the stamp.
